Anyone else looking forward to the economic crash?

I'm sure *'s numbers will be back to 50% by then, if you take any of these polls at face value (I don't).

(You have noted our system is unsustainable, particularly at its current rate.)

1. it's funny that we get upset if * hits 50 in a poll, you know 50 is
really not good for a sitting president in his second term.

3. looking forward?
hell no!

I have debts as it is, have to drive to work (public transport here sucks, and it's too far to bike) and have medications I have to take...

How the hell am I going to afford all that when the crash comes?

I sure as hell won't be getting any help from the government.

4. Why would anyone want an "economic crash"?
It would result in terrible hardships, especially for the working-class.

5. The ultra rich are looking forward to it. They will have a great time
hiring talent for pennies on the dollar as the upper middle class gets it in the chops and has to scrounge for crumbs too.

Myself, not really tickled at the prospect, but have seem it coming for the past 25 years. The ultra rich have worked long and heard to turn America into a third world nation while keeping us busy fighting each other while the class warfare buried us alive and saddled our kids and grandkids with national debt.

7. I was hoping that we really had passed the crash
Not that I believe the PR about the economy, but I was hoping that we had hit the bottom already and are just running around at the sea floor.
